Cam Skattebo 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: If he can Stay Healthy, Could Have Big Season as Giants Workhorse
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) was a pleasant surprise last season as a fourth-round pick for the Giants and eventually surpassed starter Tyrone Tracy Jr. as the team's starting running back. He produced gaudy stats before suffering a gruesome season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 8 against the Eagles. Skattebo rushed for 410 yards on 101 carries with five touchdowns while catching 24 passes for 207 yards and two scores over eight games. He was averaging 15.6 touches per game and proved to be a reliable pass catcher by averaging 8.7 yards after the catch. Some of the Giants' offseason moves include bringing in former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and drafting OL Francis Mauigoa with the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Skattebo is progressing well from his ankle surgery and participated in 11-on-11 drills during OTAs. He is expected to be a full go for training camp and should have the edge on Tracy as the Giants' starting running back. New York's offense should also be better in quarterback Jaxson Dart's second season as he continues to develop. While Tracy will have a role, the Giants will lean on Skattebo at the goal line, as he owned a terrific 5.0% rushing TD percentage last year. Skattebo is ranked RB20 at RotoBaller and is projected for 1,400 total yards and 11 touchdowns in 2026. Barring a setback, Skattebo is set to be the Giants' workhorse and should produce as an excellent fantasy RB2 if he can stay healthy.
